That's pretty much not going to happen, unfortunately. Every single 
Penguicon has had problems finding space for everything, even to the 
point that they sometimes consider displacing things that are normal 
parts of a con like the dealer's room. The only time they go out of 
their way to make room for something new is if it turned out to be 
extremely popular the year before. And in terms of popularity and 
demand, computer gaming has been very nearly at the bottom of the 
barrel every consecutive year.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see computer games thrive at Penguicon 
(I was once a gamer myself), I just don't see a very large audience for 
it.
